Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few Scottish historians are better known than T. C. Smout and fewer still more deserving of the high esteem in which they are held. He has made an outstanding contribution to Scottish historical studies both as an academic discipline and as a subject of wide popular appeal. His retirement in 1991 after twelve years as Professor of Scottish History at the University of St Andrews diminished neither his interest not his output. It did, however, provide a fitting opportunity to honour his accomplishments. This collection of ten essays by his friends and colleagues at St Andrews is a measure of his enormous success in promoting Scottish history there and of their respect for his achievements. Ranging widely over the Scottish past – from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries, from high politics to popular protest, from shipwrecks to railway mania, form local social studies to the problem of national identity – the essays pay tribute to the depth of Smout's historical understanding by reflecting the breadth of research that he has done so much to encourage.

Book excerpt: With her first published book the author is letting us in on a secret. All around the edges of the world of everyday here and now, lie magical doors, teasing, beckoning, daring us to summon the courage to pry them open wide enough to squeeze through. She knows what she’s talking about. She’s found a lot of these doors through the years, sometimes in the most unexpected places. Mostly she’s taken up the challenge to squeeze through, and has never once been sorry that she did. Children know how to do this, but time and the greedy demands of the world of everyday here and now, can be robbers and poachers. So often we’re told that we must give up the search for those doors to apply ourselves to more practical things, that peeking beyond the edges of the everyday world is a fun but frivolous part of childhood, and must eventually be laid aside. That brings us back round to Audrika‘s story. She’s a normal ten year old, with a normal ten year old’s problems. Already she’s come perilously close to slamming the door shut on her own magic forever, but a summer full of adventure and yes, dare we say it, magic, will change all that. She’ll find the courage to step through a door tucked away in a remote corner of an enchanted greenhouse. What she finds on the other side will change her life forever. True, this is a story about the possibilities that lie on the other side of an enchanted door, but it is more. It is a nudge that worries and warns, “Don’t forget the magic. Hang on. Hold on. If you are courageous enough you don‘t ever have to let go. There is no expiration date on the magic that fills our insides with soda pop bubbles and sends fireworks up into a velvet night sky.” This book is a gift to every child struggling to hold on to their special magic. Perhaps it is also a gift to every adult who has misplaced their own, and longs for its return.

Download or read book The Early Stewart Kings written by Stephen Boardman and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2022-07-07 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Stewart Dynasty in Scotland series aims to bring the rich political heritage of late medieval and early modern Scotland before as wide a reading public as possible, with specialist authors writing for the general reader as well as the student or academic. This volume is number one in the series and is also the first scholarly biography of the two kings who established medieval Scotland's most famous and durable royal dynasty. Robert II, long regarded as a weak and ineffective king, pursued a determined political and propaganda campaign which largely overcame initial political opposition. Robert III was forced to engage in a long-term struggle with his brother Albany for control of the kingdom. Firmly based on contemporary documentary sources, Stephen Boardman's study examines the ways in which the unjustly poor reputations of both kings grew from later embellishments to contemporary political propaganda.
Download or read book David II written by Michael Penman and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2005-02-22 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David II (1329–1371), son of the hero King of Scots, Robert Bruce (1306–1329), has suffered a harsh historical press, condemned as a disastrous general, a womaniser and a sympathiser with Scotland's 'auld enemy', England. Bringing together evidence from Scotland, England and France, Michael Penman offers a different view: that of a child king who survived usurpation, English invasion, exile and eleven years of English captivity after defeat in battle in 1326 to emerge as a formidable ruler of Scotland. Learning from Philip VI of France and Edward III of England in turn, David became the charismatic patron of a vibrant court focused on the arts of chivalry: had he lived longer, Scotland's political landscape and national outlook might have been very different to that which emerged under his successors, the Stewart kings. But David's was also a reign of internal tensions fuelled by his increasingly desperate efforts to determine the royal succession, overawe great magnates like his heir presumptive, Robert the Steward, and persuade his subjects of the need for closer relations with England after sixty years of war.
